Academic Life

Wellington College Belfast offers a wide range of subjects for all students.

Chemistry

Chemistry is part of the curriculum at Wellington College and is offered to students for GCSE and A-Level.

Collaborative Courses

Wellington College is part of the South Belfast Area Learning Community.

We aim to engage our students in Science both in and outside the classroom. Through exploring scientific concepts with enquiring minds, the students not only further their knowledge and understanding but get involved in competitions, trips, events and explore opportunities which lead to lifelong learning and open doors to science careers.

Religious Studies

The Religious Studies Department wish to promote the College motto UNA DISCAMUS: Let us Learn Together. We want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to maximise their potential in the curriculum area of Religious Studies and as a consequence develop academically, socially, emotionally and morally.

Careers

The world of work is undergoing major change with old jobs disappearing and new opportunities becoming available largely due to the impact of technology and the global market. With these facts in mind we believe that an effective careers and guidance programme is even more crucial for our young people. This view point is clearly supported by CCEA as we see Education for Employability at the heart of the revised Northern Ireland Curriculum and with the new CEIAG guidelines from the Department of Education. The aims of the department have been adapted to meet these new requirements.

Media Studies

Media Studies is a popular and successful subject in the College, and is available at GCSE (Single Award and Double Award options) and AS/A2 level. The key skills at all levels include; Knowledge and understanding of the media, Analysis of media products, and Media Production. The department is well equipped, with a modern iMac suite and a range of digital cameras and video cameras to suit both beginners and more advanced users.
